(HOUDINI, HARRY.) Pair of photos showing Houdini's name on the marquee at the Princess Theatre,<> silver prints in 5 3/4x3 3/4 inch format, both photos showing men working on the illuminated signed above the marquee; photos are said to have been taken by Houdini. Montreal, 1926
Houdini is identified as the "Master Mystifier." His show included his demonstration of how fake mediums were exposed. It was during his stint at the Princess that Houdini was punched in the stomach by a McGill University student - many credit this episode as the cause of Houdini's death several weeks later. If one looks closely, one can identify one of the men on the marquee as Houdini.<
